di'u - last utterance

last utterance

pro-sumti: the last utterance

A little bit late..the last one for this week. And, by the way...durka! Don't forget!

vo'a - x1 it

vo'a
KOhA4

x1 it

pro-sumti: repeats 1st place of main bridi of this sentence

ri - last sumti

ri
KOhA5

last sumti

pro-sumti: the last sumti, as determined by back-counting rules

Continuing the pro-sumti-series. By the way, someone remind durka of his plans to finish the valsi-blog-to-rememberize-script!

ko'a - it-1

ko'a
KOhA4

it-1

pro-sumti: he/she/it/they #1 (specified by goi)

Just ripping the example from the reference grammar:

13.2) le cribe goi ko'a cu xekri
.i ko'a citka le smacu
The bear defined-as it-1 is-black.
It-1 eats the mouse.

I guess this week won't bring anything more interesting than some other pro-sumti-cmavo.

goi - pro-sumti-assign

goi
GOI

pro-sumti assign

sumti assignment; used to define/assign ko'a/fo'a series pro-sumti; Latin 'sive'

Two posts today because i missed the one yesterday. Check out the reference grammar on pro-sumti http://jbotcan.org/cllc/c6/s13.html in case it's new for you.

zi'e - relative clause joiner

zi'e
ZIhE

rel clause joiner

joins relative clauses which apply to the same sumti

Yeah, still relative clauses, hope you still enjoy them. Chapter for today: http://jbotcan.org/cllc/c8/s4.html

ku'o - relative clause terminator

ku'o
KUhO

relative clause terminator

elidable terminator: end NOI relative clause; always elidable, but preferred in complex clauses

ke'a - relativized it

ke'a
KohA7

relativized it

pro-sumti: relativized sumti (object of relative clause)

One more ingredient for relative clauses, enjoy!

poi - restrictive clause

poi
NOI

restrictive clause

restrictive relative clause; attaches subordinate bridi with identifying information to a sumti

One of the 100 most used words. For more information on restrictive clauses, check the grammar at chapter 8, http://jbotcan.org/cllc/c8/s1.html.

It's hard to keep my Weltanschauung out of this today :!

ma'i - in reference frame

ma'i
BAI

in reference frame

manri modal, 1st place (by standard 2) in reference frame ...

Quite usful, for those interested the info on {manri}:

manri | mar | reference | x1 is a frame of reference/standard for observing/measuring/determining x2, with/by rules x3 (x1 may be object or si'o idea) | cf. cmavo list ma'i, ckilu, merli, pajni, cimde, jdice, marde

Actually two words for today...

roi - quantified tense

roi
ROI

quantified tense

converts number to an objectively quantified tense interval modifier; defaults to time tense

So taking {so'e} (PA4, meaning 'most') and prepend it to {roi}, we get {so'eroi} meaning 'usually'.

With 60 hours a day there plenty of time left to learn another word, even at weekends. Hope all of you stuck in a 24 hour cycle will agree...Next break is at 5 new words.

AND OF COURSE, HAPPY PI DAY TO ALL!

be - link sumti

be
BE

link sumti

umti link to attach sumti (default x2) to a selbri; used in descriptions

I guess for many followers this is nothing new, but anyways it's an important cmavo I'd say. For those unfamiliar with this for, check out the corresponding chapter of the grammar: http://jbotcan.org/cllc/c5/s7.html

Ah, and in order to paper over the cracks of missing days and too few words, I'll simply add the two related words: {bei} and {be'o}!

fi'i - 'hospitality'

fi'i
COI

'hospitality'

vocative: hospitality - inhospitality; you are welcome/ make yourself at home

Related:

fi'inai | COI* | inhospitality | vocative: hospitality - inhospitality

A quick follow up...please drop me a comment on irc/blog comment/jabber whether you prefered the cmavo postings over the gismu postings.

nu'e - 'promise'

nu'e
COI

'promise'

vocative: promise - promise release - un-promise

Related to {nu'e} are those two:

nu'ecu'i | COI* | release from promise | vocative: promise - promise release - un-promise
nu'enai | COI* | non-promise | vocative: promise - promise release - un-promise

Should I post more cmavo or restrict to gismu again?

ju'i - 'attention'

ju'i
COI

'attention'

vocative: attention - at ease - ignore me

ba'a - 'I anticipate'

ba'a
UI2

'I anticipate'

evidential: I expect - I experience - I remember

cf. bavykri, lifri, morji

Those to derive from this:

ba'acu'i | UI*2 | I experience | evidential: I expect - I experience - I remember

ba'anai | UI*2 | I remember | evidential: I expect - I experience - I remember

pe'i - 'I opine'

pe'i
UI2

'I opine'

evidential: I opine (subjective claim)

cf. jinvi

Ha, as nobody commented on a next topic you now have to live with the things I came up (well, timos helped me with it, thanks).
This week I'll post some cmavo which might be useful in conversations. I think most attitudinals are known and I linked the grammar section in one of my previous posts. {pe'i} is a evidential, which can be found in the same chapter as attitudinals, but in subsection 11 (see here: Chapter 11, Subsection 13).
